How to differentiate an original chain from a Shimano replica? 1st See the description of the chain on the Shimano website 2nd Shimano chain depending on the model is pin chain and does not come with Power link 3rd Shimano parts always come with a manual 4th look at the packaging and distributor sticker in the case of Brazil it is Bluecicle 5th Shimano has production in several countries, but will never have the same product made in two different countries. Do not use counterfeit parts, as you will ruin other parts and the loss will be greater. If in doubt look for an SSC Shimano store.
